¡Cuánta luz en noche oscura!

Representative Text

1 ¡Cuánta luz en noche oscura!
En tinieblas, ¡quße fulgor!
¿Es del alba la hermosura?
¡Ved del cielo el esplendor!
En los campos al pastor
Cnata el ánge con dulzura:
"Nuevas de gran gozo doy;

2 "El Mesías ha nacido,
El rey vuerstro celestial;
A Belén Él ha elegido.
Vedle enbuelto en un pañal,
Un pesebre es su señal.
Para todos ha venido."
Alabamos tu bondad,
Cristo, por la eternidad!

3 ¿Qué podemos ofrecerte,
Rey de excelsa majestad?
A Ti unamos nuestra suerte,
Imitando tu humildad.
Tuya es nuestra voluntad,
Nuetra vida hasta la muerte.
Oye, ¡oh Cristo!, la oración:
¡Toma nuestro corazón!
